Today, as you probably know, is July 26th. What you may not know is that it's the birthday of the most beautiful girl I've ever met. She passed nearly 3 years ago, but I still like to celebrate. I wrote this poem not long after she left us. I'm not sure if I've posted it before. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. I know I do.
Happy Birthday Julia. A Jewel forever. <3
Left Me Alone
(a "found" poem)
Life stolen
Left me alone
Divine wings shone beneath me
Secret evenings together
Look:
Light.
Loud nights
Clear balance
Kept you easily, vainly
Quickly trapped
Everything strange, hiding, red
Why?
Chased glowing fire
Tiptoe
Cannot reach
Reach the top
Fell, burning
Hidden forever
Careful,
Hold tight
Never found.

Cannot reach
Reach the top
Fell, burning
Hidden forever
Careful,
Hold tight
Never found.
